History of the Consumer/Survivor Movement Purpose: Learn about the history of our movement in order to rededicate ourselves to its core values and inform our ongoing work. 1 History of the Consumer/Survivor Movement Sally Zinman 2 Introduction 1960s and 1970s social change movements Civil rights movement; African-American, women, gays, and people with physical disabilities organized For decades, mental patients were denied basic civil liberties and suffered systemic inhumane treatment Spent lifetimes locked up in State hospitals. New laws limited involuntary commitment Now big State hospitals were shut down and people released 3 New Liberation Movement Once released from the hospital people held groups Former “patients” shared anger about their abusive treatment Their peers validated their feelings. Expressed the need for independent living in the community A new civil rights movement was born from these isolated groups across the country Based on the desire for personal freedom and radical systemic change A liberation movement 4 1970’s 5 The Beginnings The 1970’s was a time Of finding each other Of realizing that we were not alone Of militant groups and actions Of self and group education Of defining our core values Of finding and growing our voice out of the anger and hurt bred by the oppression of the mental health system. Of separatism as a means of empowering ourselves. 6 Processes Groups autonomous, belief in local control No money from mental health system Separatist No major outreach 7 Principles All within context of a civil rights movement for people diagnosed with mental illness, we were: Against Forced Treatment Against Inhumane Treatment – medications, ECT, lobotomy, seclusion and restraints Sanism Anti-Medical Model verging on anti-psychiatry Emergence of concept of mental patient run alternatives to mental health system and peer support Involvement in every aspect of mental health system 8 Activities Political militant activism – demonstrations Developing and defining values and positions Annual Conference on Human Rights and Against Psychiatric Oppression held at campgrounds, college campuses, unfunded Madness Network News –news vehicle for communication Small groups, mostly on two coasts Militant names, e.g., Network Against Psychiatric Assault, Insane Liberation Front, Mental Patient Liberation Front Most common self-description is as “psychiatric inmate.” Self and group information and education Support, consciousness raising groups 9 Landmark book published 1978: On Our Own: Patient Controlled Alternatives to the Mental Health System by Judi Chamberlin 10 Demonstration against the APA 11 Transitions in 1980s Howie the Harp 12 Moving Forward The 1980s was a transitional time We made major movement decisions that left many of the more purist activists behind. We began the process of reentering the world that had so hurt us. It was a time that some significant founding endeavors ended, and new ventures began. There were indications that many of our goals were beginning to be realized, a transitioning from words to deeds, conceptualizing to implementing. 13 1980s Processes Mainstreaming Centralizing Money from mental health system Collaborations/ beginning Reentry 14 Activities Growth of mental health system funded consumer run and staffed/peer support programs, early drop-in centers 1983 On Our Own in Baltimore, Maryland 1985 Berkeley Drop-In Center, Berkeley CA 1985 Ruby Rogers Drop In Center Cambridge Mass. 1986 Oakland Independence Support Center, Oakland CA Federal government, Community Support Program, NIMH, begins to fund consumer/survivor-run programs 1988 13 consumer run demonstration projects funded Beginning of statewide consumer run organizations 1983, California Network of Mental Health Clients 15 More Shifts Discontinuation of Madness Network News and decline of radical militant groups of Conference on Human Rights and Against Psychiatric Oppression Many MH system funded trainings and conferences First national Alternatives Conference 1985 Rights Protection gains/legislation Growth of rights protection organizations Protection and Advocacy, Inc. Beginning to walk inside, social change from the inside as well as the outside More “clients”, “consumers” sitting on decision making bodies 16 17 Getting What We Wanted Fruition of changes that we had sought in the mental health system Basic values remain the same, we rephrase them Consumer/survivor- run programs, employment, and educational opportunities flourish Attitudes about recovery change 18 Principles The same principles as the earlier days expressed in positive rather than negative ways Self Determination and Choice Rights protections Stigma and Discrimination reduction Services responding to multiple life needs of person: friends, housing, jobs, community. Self- Help/Peer Support programs Involvement in every aspect of mental health system “Nothing About Us Without Us” Concept of Recovery – encompassing all of the above 19 Where We Have Come Employment, in addition to in consumer run programs In mental health system Consumer/survivors in MH management level jobs Offices of Consumer Affairs Big growth in consumer run/peer support programs with system funding Incorporation of consumer run/peer support into system, such as Recovery/Wellness Centers, peer support specialists, peer certification, and medi-cal funded peer support Peer Certification is implemented in 34 States 20 More Progress Multiple training opportunities, including consumer developed trainings Meaningful consumer involvement at most levels of mental health system Consumer participation and partnership with other constituency mental health groups Research on consumer run programs/peer support, and emergence of consumer researchers Working with policy makers to legislate and otherwise change policy 21 More Progress Development of new consumer driven models such as peer run respite centers and self directed care. More diverse and inclusive consumer movement Creation of National Coalition for Mental Health Recovery, a national advocacy voice for consumer/survivors, and International Association of Peer Supporters that promotes the use of peer support services worldwide Effective advocacy from the inside 22 23 System Culture Change Evidence of system culture change as a result of consumer involvement at all levels of MH system. Consumer values embedded in California’s Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Voluntary Promotion of self-help/peer support programs Involvement of consumers at all levels of MH system Involvement of consumers as part of and in training of MH workforce Promotion of recovery as a goal 24 System Culture Change Concept of Recovery inspired by and attributed to consumers Recovery replaces maintenance as the goal for people diagnosed with mental illness “We envision a future when everyone with a mental illness will recover.” Achieving the Promise: Transforming Mental Health Care in America, The President’s New freedom Commission on Mental Health, July 2003. Consumers have initiated new genres of services Consumer run programs and peer support are essential components of most mental health systems and designated best practices 25 Liberation Initial goal is to advocate for others Liberate others so they will not experience same abuse we did, so people who follow us will not have the same horrendous experiences that we did. Realize in the very process of advocating for others We are freeing ourselves Raising ourselves above internalized self-disparaging images Recreating ourselves in new empowered ways. Creating new people Redefining ourselves, individually and collectively Created new program genres Client-run drop-in centers and other client run programs Influential in development of supportive housing and recovery. Final understanding: we are also liberating the system Making it better for everyone that works in the mental health system, a liberating and healing environment for all. 26 The scope of our achievements of the past is an indicator of the possibilities for our future. 27 Acknowledgments and Contact Information Thanks to the thousands and thousands of advocates who have and will continue to shape the consumer/survivor movement history.

  • Judi Chamberlin Papers
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Judi Chamberlin Papers 1944-2010 (Bulk: 1970-2006) 30 boxes (45 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 768 Collection overview A pioneer in the psychiatric survivors' movement, Judi Chamberlin spent four decades as an activist for the civil rights of mental patients. Following horrific experiences as a patient in the mental health system, Chamberlin was galvanized to take action on patients' rights, helping to found the Mental Patients' Liberation Front in 1971. Taking cues from the struggle for civil rights, she helped build a movement that privileged the patient's perspective and that demanded choice in treatment. Through her writing, organizing, and international advocacy, she contributed to a number of disability rights organizations that have had a profound influence on public policy. Her tireless efforts have been recognized with the Distinguished Service Award of the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities in 1992 and many other honors. Chamberlin died of pulmonary disease at home in Arlington, Mass., in January 2010. An important record of the development of the psychiatric survivors' movement from its earliest days, the Chamberlin Papers include rich correspondence between Chamberlin, fellow activists, survivors, and medical professionals; records of her work with the MPLF and other rights organizations, conferences and meetings, and her efforts to build the movement internationally. See similar SCUA collections: Disability Political activism Social justice Women Background on Judi Chamberlin No, anger is not 'nice,' but it's real, it comes from the gut, and not to be angry at being shit upon is being dead -- which is exactly what shrinks and their kind want us all to become.

In particular, identity matters to people who are stigmatized and stereotyped because they belong to a socially disfavored group. Although individual members of these groups may have very different ideas about how to respond to prejudice and mistreatment, the matter of identity itself-membership in the group-is generally not at issue. Justice Clarence Thomas and the Reverend Jesse Jackson may have sharply conflicting ideas about the meaning of being an African American in our society, but the identity of each man as an African American is hardly open to question.

  • The Disability Studies Reader
    CHAPTER 7 A Mad Fight: Psychiatry and Disability Activism Bradley Lewis 100 SUMMARY The Mad Pride movement is made up of activists resisting and critiquing physician-centered psychiatric systems, finding alternative approaches to mental health and helping people choose minimal involvement with psychiatric institutions. They believe mainstream psychiatry over exaggerates pathology and forces conformity though diagnosis and treatment. In this chapter, Bradley Lewis highlights the political and epistemological similarities between the Mad Pride movement and other areas of disability studies. For instance, the social categories of normal and abnormal legitimize the medicalization of different bodies and minds and exert pressure on institutions to stay on the side of normality, or in this case, sanity. Lewis briefly traces the historical roots of Mad Pride to show how diagnoses of insanity were often political abuses aimed at normalizing differing opinions and experiences. The movement entered into the debate to fight involuntary hospitalization and recast mental illness as a myth rather than an objective reality. Today’s Mad Pride often works within mental health services systems by bringing together “consumers” (rather than “survivors” or “ex-patients”) who contribute real input for psychiatric policy. Nevertheless, Mad Pride still wages an epistemological and political struggle with psychiatry, which has undergone a “scientific revolution” that values “objective” data and undervalues humanistic inquiries. For example, biopsychiatric methods led to Prozac-type drugs being prescribed to 67.5 million Americans between 1987 and 2002. Mad Pride staged a hunger strike to protest the reduction of mental illness to a brain disease, arguing this model couldn’t be proved by evidence and limited consumers’ options for treatments like therapy or peer-support.

JC: I was 21 years old and I was married and I had a miscarriage and I got incredibly depressed and, you know, just, wasn’t getting out of bed. Wasn’t functioning. Just crying and everything.

Sophia Zucker Voices of Experience: The Mental Health Consumer and Psychiatric Survivor Movements and Their Implications for Ethical Clinical Practice ABSTRACT This theoretical thesis explores the origins of the modern concept of “mental illness” and traces the development of the mental health consumer and psychiatric survivor movements, modern social justice movements that work to change and/or dismantle the system of oppression that has long denied those labeled mentally ill the right to make basic decisions about their own lives. Working from a critical theoretical frame influenced by historical discourse analysis and post-structuralist theory, the thesis first examines the multiple constructions of madness and mental distress in the Western world since the Middle Ages, suggesting that the current biomedical model of mental illness is similarly constructed by modern social, political, and economic forces. Attention is then turned to the mental health consumer and psychiatric survivor movements, and the discourse utilized by each movement to challenge the dominant biomedical discourse.

  • The Service User As a Person in Health Care—Service Users Organising for Self Empowerment
    International Journal of Integrated Care – ISSN 1568-4156 Volume 10, 29 January 2010 URL: http://www.ijic.org Publisher: Igitur, Utrecht Publishing & Archiving Services Copyright: Section on Person-centered Public Health The service user as a person in health care—service users organising for self empowerment Jan Wallcraft, Dr., UK Department of Health, London, UK Correspondence to: Jan Wallcraft, E-mail: [email protected] Introduction In 2009, we are discussing how to return to psychiatric patients their right to be treated as a person. The fact that we are having these events is an acceptance that there has been a problem in treating patients as people, as full citizens. In all societies there are specific laws and practices which exclude people thought to be mad or mentally ill, and medi- cine and law have worked together to achieve this exclusion. I am writing here as a person who became a mental patient in 1972 and received a PhD in 2002 through study of the mental health system and patients’ perspectives. Loss of personhood in psychiatric healthcare—the history The treatment of madness in previous centuries has rarely been humane or democratic: “They called me mad, and I called them mad, and damn them, they outvoted me” Nathaniel Lee, Restoration poet on being committed to Bethlem in the 17th century [1]. Law and science in the 19th century was intended to offer justice and better health-care for the ‘mad’. There was an awareness that people could be arbitrarily labelled as lunatics and their liberty and property unfairly taken from them.
